Flavoured Coffee, the virtual kind

Writing Sparkle9 Comments

There is a sweetness to the scent this morning that influences my expectation about taste. The taste, however, surprises me because it is shockingly bitter. It isn't an unpleasant taste though. The bitterness fades into smoky notes reminiscent of vanilla. If we were having coffee I would offer you a Coney Island Caramel flavoured coffee.… Continue reading Flavoured Coffee, the virtual kind

Oath of Allegiance, an Oath of Office, and an Oath of Secrecy

Writing Sparkle

My diploma had a gold seal in the corner that was decorated with the RCMP insignia: a front facing buffalo head, the words Maintiens le Droit, maple leaves with a crown at the top over the name Canada, and a scroll at the very bottom with the RCMP title.
